re: What, if anything else, should "Football" have been called?

And it was literally called soccer back then:lol:

Football was a generic term for sports that weren't played on horseback. Soccer was the nickname/general term for the sport

i also don't have super expensive insurance but I also work for a large company

Would assume a lot of the people getting wrecked are either self employed or work for smaller businesses

Either way its absolutely ridiculous it has gotten to the point it has and there is absolutely no momentum to even try to fix anything that is completely broken

re: Credit Card Question

Yes and requires jumping through their hoops

Its a lot and its not easy and takes time to learn and I totally get why a person would have no interest in them

But I've been able to make it work for me but totally see a future where I say enough of this and recommit to cashback

To answer your question OP. Its really up to how you live your life and what to you want

Credit card rewards and perks have become so specialized that what works for one person may not work for the other. Some people want an easy no nonsense card that earns 2/3% back on everything and thats that. Some want to maximize and have multiple cards that earn 4/5% back on specialized categories. Some people love perks and status and lounge access and are willing to spend hefty fees to get those. Other people try to avoid fees like they are the devil. Some people are like me and think 90% of the value comes from sign up bonuses so we open cards, hit our bonus, move on the next, and cancel when the fee hits. Some people like points, some people like cashback

Rewards VS Cash Back

Take the cash, hell with the rewards

the amount of value you can get out of hotel and airline miles/points is so astonishing and blows cashback completely out of the water if you are willing to learn how to competently use them
